A BUMPER YEAR FOR THE RYMAN LEAGUE

[GazzaBTFC]

OK, I know that you're doing it for your own glory and this isn't in any way trying to bask in your reflected glory but...

 

The chances for a Ryman League Trophy final are getting shorter with both Hornchurch and Canvey (ok, they have a replay but it is at home...) still in the running.

 

With the "new boys" Hornchurch showing their "quality" to mix it with the Conference teams and coming up trumps and Canvey, a proven quality side this season in anyone's book (sorry Urchins, but they are, in my opinion), the Trophy is looking like a Ryman battle royal between the quiet confiedence of Canvey and the gamesmanship and "loud" and passionate support of the Urchins. I say, lets hope it goes all the way to the final. I for one will book a ticket for that one!!!

 

Put that together with the inevitable fixture jam both teams possibly may experience (Canvey with their Trophy reply and Hornchurch with games in hand in the league), this season is still there to play for.

 

Anyone wanna call it?

I wonder what odds you would have got on Maidenhead winning the Trophy at the start of the season? Surely they can't carry on this run!

1: You're not the only one to look at Canv with admiration this season. They deserve it, without a doubt.

2: Let's hope the venue is changed to Upton Park if HFC & CIFC are the finalists!!!!

Problem is, it hurt to call the Pikies a "quality side"...

And they would love the final to be played as close to the Island as possible...less to lash out on the costs to drive their caravans.

Would rather the match was played at Upton Park. A sea of Yellow shirts walking down the Barking Road and Green Steet. Drinking in The Boleyn or The Central before the game. Would be amazing.

[urchinboys]

A 'see' of yellow shirts!!! ....bloody graduates can't spell 3 letter words these days!

Ah f..k!!!! How did I survive three years at uni?

 

You wouldn't thought I write a regular programme column!!

[CANV EFM]

if both teams win through i would like to see us meet in the semis.. home and away legs in front of big crowds, plus the semis always produce much better games than the final..

[Uncle Urchin]

fck that....we want a mug team in the semis..(if we get thru that is)...and you lot in the final....

 

I reckon that would generate a gate at villa park of about 25000.....400 from canvey and the rest from Hx...... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

mandatory (if we get thrus) all round .. how very respectful..

i think you may struggle in the final as its on t.v. and your preening superstars wouldnt be able to concentrate on the game.. thank god jones isnt fit, you wouldnt get him off the sunbed for 2 weeks beforehand ;-)

[Uncle Urchin]

he he...trouble is Jonesy IS nearly fit and I've no doubt you'll see him in the famous red and white stripes 'afore the end of term....

 

fck me...can you imagine him on live national tv....
